Test your Geek IQ

If you truly want to know how smart you are when it counts, then InfoWorld's Geek IQ test is the puzzler for you

Sure, you may have scored more than 150 on the standardized IQ test, you may party hearty with Mensa Mommas -- but what's that actually worth in the real world? Diddly. If you truly want to know how smart you are when it counts, then InfoWorld's Geek IQ test is the puzzler for you. Answer the 20 questions below, and we'll add up your score and let you know how you measure up. Even a suit can follow those directions. And remember: Googling every question will not give you an accurate score. Got a beef or want to brag? Take it out on the comments section of the Answer Key page at the end of the test.
